Re: [FWDLK] Anyone a-door their windows'....

Neil -

It may be the nylon channel that is at the very back where the roof rail
meets the rear window opening.  This is the thing that guides the 'up, then
over' movement of the quarter window. I've cleaned a number of them and they
seem to collect dirt, dried Lubriplate, etc., which makes the 'over'
operation difficult. Also, this channel can be aligned for better operation.
